Hi, Re the attached:
<SNIPPET> Just wanted to know whether a web version of mainframe can be implemented. One of our user is trying to access from a remote location using a wireless internet in which the IP changes everytime. </SNIPPET> There are at least two things to think about here, but let's focus on the client end and the server end. The server end will hopefully have a fixed IP Address, and a related port into which a connection is made by some means, typically TN3270 for TSO access, but it could be a Browser for HTTP access if the target application is either HTTP or a WEB enabled CICS region. If the server IP Address is not static gaining access will be a challenge until the client end is notified of the change of address, which may well be a manual process. The client end may well have a dynamic IP Address, especially if the user is accessing z/OS either from a mobile device or different PCs in different geographic locations. This should not present a problem unless security software insists on specific terminal identities in some way. On a personal note, I access system either from my local LAN, or other companies offices, or via a USB Modem on my laptop. The only issue with other company offices has been their firewall rules. I hope this helps.
